    1. Creative? Prepare first<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      After choosing a video format, gather your marketing team to plan the specifics. Here’s a checklist to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Target whom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Is this your whole audience?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What do you want video viewers to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Budget and timeline?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Who should you recruit as creatives? Artists? Filmmakers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How will you evaluate your video?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      These are simply basic recommendations; your organization may have a more detailed marketing plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Video works well in emails, landing sites, and social platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Continuity across channels may help your brand and set client expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      After outlining your objectives, it’s time to write and film your video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Write, rehearse, shoot, and edit the screenplay.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Writing a screenplay and practicing it before shooting can save you time, money, and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Good script features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        A hook<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        One message<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Context\/story<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Call-to-action<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        It may have more words than you need, so be prepared to edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Make sure your tone suits your business and audience, and present your message in the first 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Shooting? Don’t employ a production team. iPhones (and other smartphones) can perform well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Kate Hudson shot 70% of her Fabletics video on her iPhone. This saves money and provides viewers a real experience. Watch here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        After filming, have many people check the video’s content, effectiveness, and quality. You want your video to reflect your company well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If you’re on a budget, consider using free video editing tools. Your video production team will handle final editing and sampling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Call-to-action<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Make your email marketing video’s call-to-action (CTA) count. Short, simple, and actionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Today’s technology enables you to integrate contact forms inside videos or incorporate pop-up CTAs. How to grab your audience’s attention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This is ideal for subscription-based companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Let viewers complete a poll or survey to gather marketing feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Create a sign-up form for a webinar or other event using this CTA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Engage viewers on Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube, or use a campaign hashtag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Contests: Offer a contest or giveaway to expand your list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Start with a short video, then link to more videos highlighting your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Choose the method that suits your marketing objectives best to engage and convert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Evaluation<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          You did your research, made a video, and sent it. Measure the outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          You’ll utilize your marketing objectives to determine the most important indicators, but here are a few more you may use to ensure effectiveness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          CTR: How many clicked your CTA?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Your video’s view count<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          How many viewers clicked “play”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          How many click-through visitors acted on your CTA?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          How many people shared your video?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          How long do people watch after pressing play?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Video feedback (can be combined with social sharing)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The Road Map video series offers business guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          You may monitor any or all of these variables to see how well your video is promoting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          These analytics let you change your video if it’s underperforming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Wrap Up<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Email marketing using video is a strong tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Its personal, real quality helps encourage engagement, and its flexibility lets you modify methods when clients’ contact points change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          It works without pricey technologies. Even Fabletics shoots high-converting videos on cellphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
